I'm currently on student visa doing Post Graduate Diploma in Ontario and will be graduating in December. I've no previous full-time work experience either in Canada or back home in India. I wanted to know what would be my options for Permanent Residency. I'm moving to BC in January. I'll be getting a job offer as a supervisor in a grocery store in Surrey and I'm confident of scoring CLB Level 9 in IELTS. Would I be eligible to apply for BC PNP or should I wait for 1 year and apply for Canadian Experience Class.

Create you EE profile and wait for nomination offers from provinces, if they nominate you then you done. If they don't work in the meantime and build up your canadian work experience. after 1 year you can easily apply for PR without nominations from provinces

That is not correct. Even with a nomination (which will be hard to get without skilled work experience, and without living in the same province where the OP studied), the OP still has to meet the minimum requirements for one of the programs - FSW, CEC, or FST. CEC has the fewest requirements, but still requires a minimum of one year of skilled Canadian work experience to be eligible.

You can look at BC PNP -

As for CEC, you would need a minimum of 1 year of full-time experience (or the equivalent in part-time experience) in a skilled occupation. Hard to say if they will believe that you are supervisor without prior experience.
